I was 33 when I left a successful automotive engineering career to start an ISP. It was a steep learning curve but in 12 months I learned a lot about networking. Then I went into network security. Have not looked back in the last 25 years.

I too have lived through many hype cycles. I jumped on one in 1992 and created one of the first ISPs in Michigan. That changed my career path from automotive to tech. It was an exciting time as thousands of ISPs were launched. I completely

From our own experience Stripe has excellent customer support. I use Stripe for SaaS subscriptions and Square for integrating with my Woocommerce site.

"Excellent acquisition. Twitter will definitely compete and take marketshare from Substack" did not age well.

Not sure why Square is never mentioned. I use them for my book sales. They work with Woocommerce and my fulfillment warehouse scrapes the orders three times a day. While my experience with Stripe for my SaaS product has been great I don&#x

The first time I heard this prediction was in 1994 when the city of Atlanta told workers to stay at home and work remotely over the internet to relieve congestion during the Olympics. Still waiting.

Today in particular is a day I have looked forward to since last Christmas eve, which was a Friday. I sat down to play Terraforming Mars with two of my adult children. I marveled at how relaxed I felt. On this day of all days there were no

That's my problem with SPACs. The people who put them together walk away with all the money. IronNet, 23andMe, and Adstra, had similar drops.

Aside from the guidance offered in the other comments, look at working at a cybersecurity vendor where there are multiple tracks. At a big vendor there are the traditional IT security roles for network, endpoint, cloud, GRC, IAM, etc. But

We went through this process. Started with Airtable + Softr which took a weekend to demonstrate the desired functionality. But we switched to bubble + Airtable and launched in three months. Then we moved off Airtable to use the bubble db. F

I recently passed half a million emails in my inbox (over 15 years), and 325K unread emails. I am hoping that someday I can extract intelligence from all of that data.

I track 31 API Security vendors (not including the big guys like Imperva and Vericode.) This approach is going to disrupt a space that has taken in just over a billion dollars in funding in the last two years. Well done! Any security tool

This is great. I studied FEM in school and got my first job in industry as a structural analyst. I started my own firm when I was 25 and employed 22 analysts that I contracted to Pontiac Motors.

Apparently I write like Cory Doctorow. I am fine with that. But you could take any non-fiction prose and have one answer. Need more evidence that they also looked at Michael Lewis, Malcom Gladwell, etc.

Same day closing. Gartner talked about this 20 years ago. ERP and accounting systems that do not require 4-8 weeks to close the books every quarter. Same solution for scenario planning. What is the impact of a sole supplier in Thailand de

Sounds like the best of Axis Security and Beyond Identity. Well done. Kudos for not using "Zero Trust" in your description!

So 2.4 billion light years away, yet several times the article says things like "This event, because of its relative proximity to Earth, is also a unique opportunity" and "Because this burst is so bright and also nearby, we

Since there is zero evidence of any comet having water on it this should not be a surprise. It's like every scientist just glommed on to what they learned in grade school: comets are dirty snowballs, or icy dirt balls. Ever comet visit

Your mileage may definitely vary. I have written 10 books. Probably a total of 40,000 sold over twelve years. Maybe they just suck, or cybersecurity is too niche. Or, most likely, I suck at marketing. But it is definitely worth it. For me,
